ARTICLE SUMMARY:
Initially conceived by a physician who is an expert in heart failure, complex catheter ablations, and left atrial appendage closure, the epicardial lead from Kobara Medical enables more effective cardiac resynchronization therapy from outside the heart and blood vessels.
In the field of cardiac rhythm management, endovascular leads have always been one of the weakest links for pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), which have become the mainstay treatment for patients with heart rhythm abnormalities.
